Tony McAleer, former neo-Nazi and White supremacist— Fighting for Compassion

Tony McAleer found an outlet for his teenage rage in the street violence of the skinhead scene. He then grew deeply involved in the White Aryan Resistance (WAR), rising through the ranks to become a leader, and embraced technology and the budding internet to bring white nationalist propaganda into the digital age. After fifteen years in the movement, it was the outpouring of love he felt at the birth of his children that inspired him to start questioning his hateful beliefs. Thus began the spiritual journey of personal transformation that enabled him to disengage from the highest levels of the white power movement. We interview Tony about his experience, as well as what he views as the path forward for those who are consumed with hate, as well as those who bear the brunt of it.
